Now is the time. Washington is the place.

Momentum for universal healthcare is growing in Washington. Whole Washington’s second Universal Healthcare Gala arrives at a pivotal moment in the fight.

Join us for a night of camaraderie and joy. “It’s important for us to take the time to celebrate how far we’ve come while we look forward at the hill we still need to climb,” says Whole Washington Executive Director Andre Stackhouse. “We’re so excited to celebrate with our supporters once again.”

Here’s how the evening will unfold:

• Cocktail hour of mixing, mingling, and silent auction bidding
• Live music
• A delicious dinner with speakers and inspiration
• Coffee, dessert dash and a live auction
